Mural #2 is done!!

The train mural is finally finished! It's always a great feeling to finish a project that I've put so much time into.

Well here is the finished piece.

Here is a picture showing both murals together. And I'm working on a third mural that will be on the wall to the left of the windows.

Mural #2~The end is in sight

I'm exhausted today, but I got in four hours of painting yesterday after an eight hour work day. BUT I'm so close to being done! All I have left is to paint the brick and add dimension to the window frame.

Mural #2~Almost there

The mural is almost done. I coated the image with polyacrylic, tinted brown, to unify the color and add a shine to the windows. Next is to finish the window trim and bricks. Then it's on the mural #3 and #4. :)

Helwig Whistle Stop Mural #2

Here is another mural I'm working on for Helwig Whistle Stop. This one is in the lobby area and each window is 5'x6'. First I used a projector to paint my rendering onto the wall.

Then I started filling in the areas.

Here is a close up of the right window.

And this is as far as I am now. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it this weekend! Final pics coming soon.

Latest Mural

Helwig Whistle Stop is a new shopping plaza that is opening in Berea. I was lucky enough to work on numerous murals for their entrance lobby. :) I've only completed the first one at the entrance and the other ones are in the sketching stage.


First I transfered the image onto the wall. And since it was 12 feet off the ground I had to use an automated lift. hahhaa.

Then I painted an outline to define all the shapes and make sure I didn't lose the original charcoal lines.

And the final product after about 15 hours of work. :)

I'm excited to start the next mural and am glad that one is on the ground level.

Sketches

Part of being an illustrator is drawing ALL the time, so I thought I would share some sketches I've been working on.
